Getting around

The best way to navigate the city is on wheels - but just two of them, as they will allow you to maneuver around the heavy traffic and explore the many small alleys to see the Hanoian's way of life. Grab and taxis are readily available at 11-15k VND per km if you're traveling in large groups or prefer comfort, but they will take some time on the road. Another way is to take advantage of our strategic location and explore on foot - you will come across many hidden gems in this part of the city.

House rules

Our #1 RULE is to treat our place as if it were yours - unless your place is a college frat house, in which case please treat it like your grandma’s house instead. We hate setting rules but the following are really necessary for us to provide everyone with a great stay:

NO SMOKING on premise. We will be forced to charge a USD250 cleaning fee for any violations and the offender may be asked to leave our property without a refund&#8208;&#8208;it’s really not fair for our guests who paid for a non-smoking experience to have to deal with smoke.

MUST REGISTER all over-night visitors as required by local laws. Also, for the fellows, we are definitely not a "girl-friendly" hotel so please choose somewhere else if that's what you're looking for.

SHOES OFF inside the house. It’s a given in Vietnam but we understand that this can be an issue for some people so we just want to make sure you are aware prior to making a booking.

Original booking had some hiccups but the host was able to quickly and conveniently arrange new accommodations for us in the same building. We appreciated the quick communications turnaround, local recommendations, and free breakfast vouchers.
